Plot Summary of Jordan
"Jordan Sommerville is a small town veterinarian who could seduce a woman with his voice alone though he didn't use this gift often. Georgia Banks supported herself and her kids as a dancer- exotic dancer. Jordan wants a pargon of virtue but he met Georgia and found out that she is what he really wants. Georgia has plans to stay away from ALL men, but then she mets Jordan and finds out that all men aren't like her ex-husband and some are worth taking a chance for."
Jennifer Childress, Resident Scholar

"Jordan Sommerville first encounters Georgia when she's barely-dressed onstage. At that time, he'd find it hard to believe that she's a young single mother of two with a sick mother of her own--all of whom she is trying to provide for. Once he discovers these things, Jordan discovers he feels more for Georgia than lust, and though he hesitates--he is the last single brother, after all--he falls for her and her kids."
Sarrah, Resident Scholar
